This is the beginning of a recent body of work. The idea: take everyday found visuals and re- appropriate them into objects of fine art. Every day we are bombarded with imagery to the point we become completely numb to it. These objects are taken into a new context when painted on. They now become something completely different and serve a different purpose. If something is made by an artist is it considered sacred? This can still be as easily discarded as it was when it was found. We should never take anything too seriously, including imagery of ideal human form printed in advertisements in GQ, Playboy, Esquire, etc. American culture is officially a joke, and we are becoming more numb and stupid everyday, just as it was meant to be.
